When, in 1984? 86, Richard P. Feynman gave his famous course on computation at the
California Institute of Technology, he asked Tony Hey to adapt his lecture notes into a book …

Many of the fundamental limits on information processing, from thermodynamics, relativity,
and quantum mechanics, are only a few decades away. Novel physically motivated …

Written by one of the few top internationally recognized experts in the field, this book
concentrates on those topics that will remain fundamental, such as low power computing …

We review the history of the thermodynamics of information processing, beginning with the
paradox of Maxwell's demon; continuing through the efforts of Szilard, Brillouin, and others …

Today's computers are based on irreversible logic devices, which have been known to be
fundamentally energy-inefficient for several decades. Recently, alternative reversible logic …

Goldbach's conjecture or the Riemann hypothesis, both of which have resisted resolution for …

Cuando yo era niño, tenía la idea de que se podía tomar la importancia del problema y
multiplicarla por la probabilidad de resolverlo. Usted sabe cómo es un chico de mentalidad …

The development of computing machines found great success in the last decades. But the
ongoing miniaturization of integrated circuits will reach its limits in the near future. Shrinking …

The basic ideas of quantum computation are introduced by a brief discussion of Bennett
(1973, 1982) and Fredkin's (1982, 1997) ideas of reversible computation. After some …

Few books comprehensively cover the software and programming aspects of reversible
computing. Filling this gap, Introduction to Reversible Computing offers an expanded view of …
